Can anyone help me with a CPT code for an exam under anesthesia??
Surgery was cancelled in the OR as an airway could not be obtained. While the patient was under, doctor performed an exam of the patient's knee. We bill seperately from the hospital at which this procedure was to be performed, so we need to bill a code so that they can bill for their OR time, anesthesia, etc. But, as I've only been coding for a year and a half I haven't had this issue arise.
